UPDATE: Work Continues to Repair Route 1 in Cyr Plantation [ [link removed] ] 06/17/2022 10:13 AM EDT
CYR PLANTATION - The Maine Department of Transportation is continuing to work with its contracting partners to repair and reopen the part of Route 1 in Cyr Plantation that washed out late last month. The new box culvert is in the ground, but weather conditions are slowing our progress. Frequent rainfall and wet conditions create challenges for the earthwork. We are working hard to try to reopen this road to traffic by Friday, July 1st - ahead of the Independence Day weekend. We want to thank the members of the traveling public for their continued patience and understanding.
ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE FROM 6/3/22:
CYR PLANTATION - The Maine Department of Transportation opened bids today, June 3, 2022, to replace the culvert and repair the section of Route 1 in Cyr Plantation that was washed out due to the heavy rains received in the area last Saturday. The washout - located between Abel Cyr Road and Vaillancourt Hill Rd - has resulted in a road closure and a detour. For traffic heading north from Caribou to Madawaska, the travelling public will take a detour utilizing route 161 and 162. For traffic heading to the Van Buren area, take Route 89 and then 1A.
Because of the extent of the damage incurred to the existing pipe, our contractor will be installing a new concrete box, back filling with gravel and placing a new asphalt wearing surface. It is expected that the contractor will begin repairs immediately and that traffic will be able to resume use of the roadway during the week of June 20, 2022.
MaineDOT understands the importance of Route 1 to the region and is working diligently to ensure that the road is closed for the least possible amount of time. We apologize for the disruption this is causing our customers.
The project has been awarded to Soderberg Company from Caribou. body { font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #333333; } ________________________________________________________________________
